This bar is on a great location with amazing views, cocktails are all right not the best I ever tasted and there are heavily overpriced but this is bar is something that you need to experiences at least one's when you are in Shanghai. More

Cloud 9 is on floor 87, or 87.5 if you take the steps up to the bar area. With no cover charge on the Thursday and Friday when we visited with friends it is an excellent place to take in the view in the evening whilst sipping a cocktail in a very classy, dark environment (so dark you can't see...

Besides the view, which was fantastic; I do not know what make me like this bar so much, but I did. I felt really well and the drinks were good - also they gave me a very good table to enjoy the view since I came alone. Will go there again! More

Although this place claims to be the highest bar in the world, its narrow windows don't actually offer a very good view. Drinks are hideously overpriced and the clientele are mostly a bunch of loud expat corporate jerks on expense accounts. More

The view at Cloud 9 is the highlight here. The interior lighting and decor is very dark and designed for romance. Cloud 9 is not ideal for a business meeting or a group gathering. We had a pleasant time here, but after seeing the view I doubt I will return as there are many other fabulous bars in Shanghai. More

My favourite place for a late night cocktail. It's one of Shanghai's best highlights and the cocktails are really good! Great view of Shanghai!! More

We took our three children here at 5pm to watch the sun set through the smog. Poor visibility but we all loved it. Looking over the railing before entering the bar gave us head spins. Awesome building! The children had ice cream and we had two cocktails. A lovely way to unwind after seeing Pudong and the Century Ave markets. More

My boyfriend and I met some friends in Shanghai for a nice evening rendezvous on the 87th floor of the Jin Mao Tower. It was the day after heavy rains so the air was brilliant and smog free -- you could see for many kilometers in every direction. I recommend having a drink or two at this bar as an... More
